Christina falls asleep and eventually, past midnight, so do I.
*****
By morning, we’re both starting to get worried. Christina does another trip to their house while I get ready for work, going through all the worst possible scenarios in my mind. What if something bad has happened? What if one of them got hurt? Should I call the hospital?
I don’t know what to think, do, or say.
I try his phone again, and send him a quick message telling him to call me as soon as he can, then I go outside and wait by my car for Christina. When she comes over to me, I know something is not right.
“They left a note,” she says, looking angrier than I’ve ever seen her.
“What does it say?” I ask, my eyes on hers, and she hands it to me.
I read it once, and then I read it again.
It’s not in Sylar’s handwriting.
Christina and Brielle,
We have a family emergency and have to leave town. Don’t know if or when we will get back.
We’re sorry.
We’re sorry?
We’re sorry?
So fucking sorry that I wasn’t worth a phone call, or even my own note?
I share a look with my best friend, and I know she’s as hurt as me. This is fucking why I don’t let people in. They will always hurt you, in one way or another.
“Fucking dickheads,” she mutters, taking the note from me and rereading it. “They couldn’t drop by and say bye? Nothing? This is all we get? I thought….”
She trails off, and I know whatever she thought, I thought too.
I don’t get it.
I don’t get them.
“Let’s go to work,” I say, getting into my car.
I wish I had never met Sylar.
